Warnham, (West Sussex)

Warnham is a village and civil parish in the Horsham district of West Sussex, England. Other named settlements within the parish include the hamlets of Goose Green, Kingsfold and Winterfold as well as parts of Strood Green and Rowhook.

The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was born two miles from Warnham at Field Place, a broad-fronted country house set on an estate/working farm.

Warnham has a number of shops, including a village store and butcher, two pubs (The Sussex Oak and The Greets Inn) and a railway station (albeit some two miles from the village, on the Horsham - Epsom Line).

The Parish Church, dedicated to St. Margaret was built in the 14th Century, but contains substantial later additions. Shelley was baptised there in 1792 and later rode every day for lessons with Reverend Edwards, the church vicar. In addition it houses monuments belonging to a number of influential Sussex families, among them the Carylls, the Lucases and the Shelleys
